Queensland lawyer
joins AIM advisory board
MacDonnells Law senior associate
Melissa Sinopoli, pictured, has been
appointed to the Australian Institute
of Management (AIM) Young Manager
Advisory Board (YMAB).
Melissa, who works at the firm’s offices in
Cairns and Brisbane, is one of two young
Queensland professionals to join the YMAB
following a nationwide search. Eve Vickerson,
a town planner at Jensen Bowers, is the
other Queensland appointee.
YMAB was established in 2012 to represent
the unified voice, vision and needs of
emerging managers within AIM.
YMAB chair Rob Soros said Melissa
was well-placed to advise on issues which
young managers at the grassroots level face
in their careers, and to work with the board
to achieve strategic change and direction
for young managers. Melissa said she looked
forward to engaging with the AIM membership
during her two-year tenure.
Winner of the 2012 Women Lawyers
Association of Queensland Regional Woman
Lawyer of the Year Award, Melissa holds a
Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Business
from James Cook University. She has been
with MacDonnells Law since 2009.
